The Texas summer camp where 25 little girls perished in a flood has filed for bankruptcy.
The owners of Camp Mystic, Mary Liz and Edward Eastland, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Wednesday, The New York Times reported.
The Eastland family said the summer camp’s debt exceeded $10million, while their assets were only between $1million and $10million.
Camp Mystic, which will remain permanently closed, saw 25 of its campers, two staff members, and an executive lose their lives last summer after a devastating flood wiped out the camp, which is located along a river.
The girls’ camp has faced scrutiny after the tragedy, as it was ill-planned to accommodate such an emergency.
Mary Liz also saw her nursing license stripped after the July 4, 2025, tragedy, as the Texas Board of Nursing found she had abandoned campers when the site began to flood.
The board found that she evacuated ‘herself and her children to higher ground without providing any assistance or direction to all of the other campers and staff.’
The order also faults Mary Liz for failing to develop and maintain adequate emergency plans and training protocols before the deadly floods, and failing to keep adequate shelter and evacuation protocols.
